The article critiques contemporary rightwing political figures like Donald Trump and JD Vance, emphasizing their controversial views on international relations, particularly regarding Ukraine and free speech. It argues that these politicians prioritize U.S. self-interest, dismissing long-held principles of global leadership. Moreover, the article showcases a growing disillusionment with past foreign aid efforts and diplomatic practices. The author calls for a deeper understanding of these rightwing stances while acknowledging their hypocrisy and mendacity, particularly in the context of Ukraine's support and the perceived threats from within Europe versus external threats.
Trump claims that Zelenskyy refuses to have elections and that he is very low in the polls despite recent polling showing that he still has a majority of Ukrainian support.
These men are mendacious and hypocritical. Trump/Vance have cut through half a century of consensual waffle about the US's God-given destiny to lead the world to goodness and freedom.
Whether the issue is peace and war, immigration or tariffs, they claim to seek the US's self-interest and nothing else.
Americans have spent a fortune these past 50 years trying to improve life on Earth and, frankly, it has failed.
